We’re back as planned but we’ve been able to spend more time enjoying the island as our move is mostly complete. We’ve met a few people and are start...

Not to worry, I’m both an optimist and adaptable so I’m only seeking to understand and learn from the experiences of others. My opinion of the island...

Joy, Sunshine and Happiness to all!

Heading back to Boston for work and the holidays but will return on the 27th. As I’ve mentioned my wife will stay through mid-April and I’ll visit wh...

I’m not familiar with why someone might qualify for an exemption. Can you give a couple of examples as to why. Thanks.

Unloaded the container of furniture and other household goods. Everything survived as hoped. The Blue Ocean folks were as professional as ever, took...

Congratulations to you as well. We arrived late this afternoon, had a great dinner and bottle of wine at Duggan’s Reef, then took a quick swim in our...

No problem, I just need to figure out the private message thing, haven’t used that feature yet.

Not to worry, this site have been very helpful and I will keep everyone updated on our progress and status.

We used Blue Ocean Transport and Ferral (sp) Trucking (recommended by Blue Ocean) for both our Jeep and Household Goods. We rented the container (as ...

The neighbor drives it occasionally so that it stays alive and well. In the future I'll be keeping it on a battery tender when we're not there, plus ...

I think maybe you’re asking a “chicken or the egg” type question. I’ve found this forum useful if not hugely frequented. From the perspective of som...

My wife and I are also in our 60’s, just moving to the island as seasonal residents so after a little research we are planning to join the St. Croix Y...

Maybe the term ExPat is a little off but the question is a fair one. Making initial connections can be difficult for some people. Having a little mo...

I'm curious, did you grow up on St. Croix or in the Caribbean? In some senses I would imagine as a "local" you might think this is "home" so there is...

I had the same issue on my Mac, iPhone and iPad all using Safari. When I tried Chrome on the Mac I still had the problem.

Same here it only happened when I was logged in but again it seems okay now.

Looks like our container shipment of household goods is about to arrive, earlier than we expected. The pickup date at our house in MA was based on ou...

Wow, I’m glad you’re okay, scary story.

I was having the same issue but it seems to be okay now. I was traveling at the time in Asia so I was assuming that was the issue, I guess not.

Based some of the other threads as long as it’s used and has a clean title you might be okay.

All the forms were very straight forward, the EIN number had me confused as I’m just an individual and not a company but after speaking to the agent a...

I may have figured out the difference between new and used. A used vehicle has an existing title that can be used by the registry to complete the new...

I don’t understand why there would be difference between new and used. I suspect the issue is a dealer can’t sell a car without it being registered a...
